About this Document
This document contains information that will help system administrators learn how the
functionalities in System Administration Management (SAM) map with the functionalities in
HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH). System Administrators who are currently using
SAM for system management tasks can use this document to learn how to perform the same
tasks using HP SMH.
The document publishing date and part number on the cover indicate the document’s current
edition. The publishing date and the part number changes when a new edition is published.
Minor changes can be made at republish without changing the publishing date. The document
part number changes when extensive changes are made.
The latest version of this document can be found at the HP Technical Documentation website
http://www.docs.hp.com.
Scope of this Document
This cross reference guide addresses only functionalities that have been moved from SAM to
HP SMH up to HP-UX March 2008 release. This guide does not cover the functional areas that
are not part of SAM.
The functionalities in SAM and HP SMH are not mapped one-to-one. Hence, a functionality that
is supported in the graphical user interface (GUI) of HP SMH might not be supported in the text
user interface (TUI) of HP SMH.
Intended Audience
This document is intended for system administrators who want to use the HP-UX System
Management Homepage (SMH) instead of the System Administration Management (SAM),
which is deprecated HP-UX 11i v3 release onwards. Readers of this document must be familiar
with HP-UX system administration.

1 HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH)
This chapter provides a brief introduction to HP SMH, describes what is new in this edition of
the document, describes how to start SMH, and briefly introduces the SMH Home page and
SMH Tools page.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
• “About HP System Management Homepage” (page 9)
• “What's New in This Edition” (page 9)
• “Starting HP SMH” (page 9)
• “HP SMH Home Page” (page 10)
• “HP SMH Tools Page” (page 11)
About HP System Management Homepage
HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is a single system management solution for
managing HP-UX 11i. It also supports Linux and Microsoft Windows systems.
NOTE: System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP System
Management Homepage (HP SMH), an enhanced version of SAM, is introduced for managing
HP-UX. HP SMH provides Graphical User Interface (GUI), Text User Interface (TUI), and
Command-Line Interface (CLI) for managing HP-UX.
The key features of HP SMH include system administration capabilities and the ability to display
detailed information about hardware attributes. HP SMH provides an easy-to-use interface for
displaying hardware fault and status monitoring, system thresholds, diagnostics, and software
version control for an individual server by aggregating the data from HP web-based agents and
management utilities.
HP SMH integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the strategic platform for
multi-systems management from HP. HP Systems Insight Manager communicates with HP
System Management Homepage to track server health and performance, and to maintain
up-to-date server inventory data. The integration also supports group configuration and setup
via HP SIM. When used in conjunction with HP SIM, alerts may be transmitted to appropriate
individuals via e-mail or pager notification. For more information about HP SIM, visit the HP
Systems Insight Manager web site at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.
For more information on the features and benefits of HP SMH, see the Simplifying single-system
management on HP-UX 11i – HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) white paper available
at www.docs.hp.com
What's New in This Edition
This is the first edition of the document. This edition covers the functionalities in SAM that are
now available in HP SMH on HP-UX systems.
Starting HP SMH
This chapter describes how to start SMH on an HP-UX system. You can access the SMH GUI
and TUI interfaces using the smh command (/usr/sbin/smh). In HP-UX 11i v3, you can also
use the sam command, which functions the same way as the smh command, except that the
deprecation message is displayed in the beginning.
About HP System Management Homepage 9
NOTE: The smh command is available only in HP-UX 11i v3 February 2007 release and later.
The procedures in this section are applicable to HP-UX 11i v3 systems. In HP-UX 11i v1 and
HP-UX 11i v2 systems, the sam command remains the primary interface.
Starting HP SMH GUI
Follow this procedure to open the HP SMH GUI using the smh command:
1. Log in to the system.
2. Set the DISPLAY environment variable.
3. At the command prompt, enter sam or smh.
The application opens in the default web browser.
Follow this procedure to open the HP SMH GUI using a web browser:
1. Open a web browser.
2. In the address bar, enter the complete host name and the port number, for example,
http://hostname.com:2301
3. Log in to HP SMH GUI by entering your user name and password.
Starting HP SMH TUI
Follow this procedure to open the HP SMH TUI:
1. Log in to the system.
2. At the command prompt, enter sam or smh.
The SMH TUI opens.
Text-based HP SMH supports only the C (English) locale. HP recommends that you set your
locale variables, such as LANG and LC_ALL, to C. Most functional areas in web-based HP SMH
support multi-byte locales.
HP SMH Home Page
The HP SMH home page displays information about the health of the system. The page also
provides links under System Configuration to open few of the plug-ins (functional areas)
supported by the application, links under Operating System for information about operating
system, links under Software to obtain information about software products and bundles installed
on the system. Figure 1-1 (page 11) shows an image of SMH Home page on an HP-UX system.

For more information about HP SMH Home page, see the HP System Management Homepage help
provided with the product.
HP SMH Tools Page
The Tools page provides a point of entry to the management plug-in applications that are
analogous to the System Administration Manager (SAM) main page, also known as the SAM
Functional Area Launcher (or FAL). For HP-UX this also includes categories and menus for
several X-based management applications. Figure 1-2 (page 12) shows an image of SMH Tools
page on an HP-UX system.

2 Mapping SAM with HP SMH
This chapter describes the steps to reach the point in the application where you can perform the
respective administration task. This chapter is organized in to sections based on the functional
areas. For every functional area a table outlines the steps for SAM GUI, HP SMH GUI, and HP
SMH TUI.
How to read the tables in this chapter
For every functional area a table presents high-level steps to reach the page where you can
perform the administration task. The table has four columns. Following is a description of what
information each column presents:
• Task: This is the name of the task.
• Using SAM: This column explains how to reach the window where you can perform the
task in the SAM application.
• Using HP SMH GUI: This column provides a shortened version of the steps to reach the
web page where you can perform the same task in the web-based graphical user interface
(GUI) of HP SMH.
• Using HP SMH GUI: This column provides a shortened version of the steps to reach the
window where you can perform the same task in the text user interface (TUI) of HP SMH.
Here's an example of how the navigation is described for a task.

The column Using SAM describes in short how to navigate in SAM to reach the window where
you can add a local user account.
The column Using HP SMH GUI provides a shortened version of the steps to navigate in the
web-based user interface of HP SMH to reach the web page where you can add a local user
account. The steps must be read as follows: Click Tools in the SMH home page. Then, in the
Tools page that appears, click Accounts for Users and Groups. In the Accounts for Users and
Groups page, click Configure Local Users. In the page that appears, click Local Users and then
click Add User Account.
The column Using HP SMH TUI provides a shortened version of the steps to navigate in the
text/terminal user interface of HP SMH to reach the window where you can add a local user
account. The steps must be read as follows: At the command prompt, enter the smh command.
The SMH TUI opens. In the list of applications that is displayed select the Accounts for Users
and Groups by pressing the u key. In the window that appears, select Local Users by pressing
the l key. Then, select Add Local User by pressing the a key.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
• “Accounts for Users and Groups (ugweb)” (page 15)
